Islam teaches that Prophet Muhammad is the best example of proper ethical and moral behavior for mankind. Indeed, Muhammad is the model against whom our conduct is to be measured. In other words, if Muhammad did it, so should we.

~Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful pattern (of conduct) for any one whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day, and who engages much in the Praise of Allah.~

Latest hateful act against Muslim community 'crossed a line,' Couillard says

Car belonging to head of Quebec City mosque torched in early August

Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard says a line has been crossed with the torching of a mosque leader's car. He's calling on citizens to come together and take a clear stand against hate.

Police confirmed Wednesday a car belonging to Mohamed Labidi, president of the Quebec City mosque where six men were shot dead in January, was set on fire earlier this month.

The incident occurred the day after Quebec City's mayor announced an agreement with the mosque on the creation of a new Muslim cemetery in the city.

"The more that people who commit these acts feel condemned by society, the more — I hope — it'll be harder for them to repeat them," Couillard told reporters Thursday.

Quebec City pressed to ramp up fight against anti-Muslim attacks
Couillard said political leaders and influential people in the media have the responsibility to choose their words carefully.

Public figures need to "send the right information and to participate in the outburst among the population of anger towards these types of acts," he said.

The mosque also said excrement was thrown at its doors several days after the car was destroyed.

It has reported hateful incidents before, including in July when it received a package containing a defaced Qur'an and a hateful note. In June 2016, a pig's head was left at the entrance of the same mosque during Ramadan.

Couillard said the car burning "crossed a line" and "clearly represented hate and also violence."

Houston’s mosques open to Harvey evacuees on Muslim holy day

Houston’s mosques open to Harvey evacuees on Muslim holy day

2 hours ago
AP
Volunteers with the Islamic Society of Greater Houston package donations at a mosque that was being used as a shelter. Houston's Muslim community, an estimated 200,000 people, has opened many of its community centers and sent hundreds of volunteers to serve food and deliver donations.

The gymnasium at the Champions Islamic Center is covered with mats and blankets, donated clothes and boxes of food lining its walls.

On the eve of the Eid al-Adha festival, one of Islam's holiest days, it's become the temporary home for 15 of the thousands of Harvey evacuees, Muslim and non-Muslim. And though it will host hundreds of people during the Friday morning prayer for the so-called festival of sacrifice, the mosque's leaders have been adamant: No matter how many people attend the prayers, the evacuees aren't going anywhere.

"They are the No. 1 priority. They will not be disturbed, they will not be displaced, they will not be moved," said M.J. Khan, the president of the Islamic Society of Greater Houston, which operates the Champions mosque and several others that are providing shelter. "People who come, if they have to pray in the parking lot, they'll pray in the parking lot."

As in other catastrophes, from Superstorm Sandy in October 2012 to Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, American Muslims have been counted both as victims and as participants in the recovery. Houston's Muslim community, an estimated 200,000 people, has opened many of its community centres and sent hundreds of volunteers to serve food and deliver donations. Some have rescued neighbours from high water.

Despite Harvey's historic flooding hitting the Houston area just days ago, the rituals of fasting, an iftar dinner and prayers continue at the Champions mosque, also known as Masjid al-Salam, and other community centres in Houston. But some families who participate in those rituals will spend the night at a mosque because they can't return to their homes. Others will head from prayers Friday morning to volunteer at food banks and shelters. Still others find themselves at one of the city's mega-shelters, unable to get to a mosque for the holiday.

Islamic leaders and scholars say the work underscores the spirit of the festival, which coincides with the hajj, or pilgrimage to the Islamic holy city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Muslims slaughter livestock and distribute the meat to the poor, commemorating the willingness of the Prophet Ibrahim – also known as Abraham to Christians and Jews – to sacrifice his son in accordance with God's will, though in the end God provides him a sheep to sacrifice instead.

"The ultimate goal of holding and practicing all of these rituals ... is to help others," said Imam Hassan Qazwini, leader of a Detroit-area mosque and one of the top Shiite Muslim leaders in the United States. His mosque, the Islamic Institute of America, is dedicating this Eid to raising money for storm victims, and state and national Islamic organizations also have been spearheading similar efforts.

"I believe opening your door on the day of Eid for refugees and people in need is a form of worship itself," he said.

Sitting in a chair inside the Champions mosque's gymnasium, Mabel Rozier recounted how she was rescued from her third-floor apartment as the floods outside reached the second floor. A sheriff's deputy dropped her at the mosque, which at its peak took in around 35 people.

Rozier she said she was grateful to have a comfortable place to eat and sleep while she waited to return home.

"Muslims are just like any other type of person. They're caring, loving, giving people," said Katherine McCusker, also staying in the gymnasium. "I feel very fortunate that they were open and willing to come and have this space."

At the George R. Brown Convention Center, which gave shelter to around 10,000 people at its peak, a handful of Muslim evacuees were organizing a small Eid prayer for Friday.

Hasan Logan, 33, has been meeting with other Muslims during the several days they've stayed inside the convention centre, sometimes blocking off a small prayer space with chairs and their shoes.

"It's going to be hard (observing Eid), but I'm going to do it," Logan said.

Nearby, Ismail and Rabia Vaid were volunteering with the American Red Cross, which has run the shelter and expanded it as it doubled its original 5,000-person capacity. For several nights after their shifts ended, they slept in cots set aside for volunteers and then returned to do more.

"It's not about religion," Ismail Vaid said. "When a problem or chaos happens – whether it's natural or man-made – as a Muslim and as humanity, we have to participate."

Liyakat Takim, a professor of global Islam at McMaster University in the Canadian city of Hamilton, Ontario, said what's happening in Houston is the best example of Islam in action – and what is most important to the faith.

"Muslims are very much part of American society and they should contribute in any way possible," he said. "If you cannot be a good human being, you cannot be a good Muslim. ... The primary identity is not as a Muslim – the primary identity is humanity."

Lakeside Church vandalized with Islamic State messaging

Ontario Provincial Police are looking for suspects after a church was spray-painted with Islamic State messaging in Guelph-Eramosa Township.

Wellington OPP say they responded to a call at Lakeside Church Monday afternoon.

"Members [advised] that sometime overnight, unknown suspects had attended the church and did some spray-painting on the side of it," Const. Marylou Schwindt told CBC K-W.

According to an officer on the scene, someone started to write the words "Islamic State will rema[in]," in black spray paint on a wall outside the church.

Police say the vandals likely ran out of paint before they could complete the act.

The OPP's Forensic Identification Services is investigating this as a crime of mischief.

What Muslims Really Pray at 'Interfaith' Gatherings

$1:

In his blog, theologian and scholar of Islam Dr. Mark Durie states:

"It is remarkable that the daily prayers of every Muslim, part of the core of Islam, include a rejection of Christians and Jews as misguided and objects of Allah's wrath.

Devout Muslims repeat this Surat al Fatiha (Qur'an, 1:7) at least seventeen times daily during the five calls to prayer – over 5,000 times a year.

On Friday, August 4, 2017, I attended the weekly Jummah prayers at the Chautauqua Institution Hall of Christ. The Abrahamic Program for Young Adults (APYA) leads the service each Friday with full support from the Institution's department of religion. Each summer, the department selects four college-age students to serve for the season as the "face" of interfaith dialogues at Chautauqua: one liberal Jew, one liberal Christian, and two Muslims – one Sunni (male) and one Shia (female).

At the Hall of Philosophy, prior to introducing the various speakers, the department of religion director proudly invites a large audience (anywhere from 1,000 to 2,000) and residents to join the Friday Jummah, ostensibly to show how people of all religions can celebrate together through this Islamic service.

In this instance, some 50 people attended. About 20 actually participated in the prayers – about half of the them non-Muslims. All willingly bowed and prostrated themselves according to Islamic tenets. Roughly 30 spectators sat, listened, and watched the ritual unfold. Texts of the prayers were handed to the entire audience.

The Shia female asked participants to remove their shoes in that "sacred" space, which she called the Hall of the "Prophet," despite its actual name, Hall of Christ. She didn't elucidate which prophet she meant.

The APYA Sunni Muslim, Omar, led the prayers. He completed his undergrad at the Zaytuna College, Calif. – the first Muslim university in the U.S. – and plans to attend the Hartford Institute before enrolling in the U.S. military as a Muslim chaplain.

During prayers, Omar and few other Muslims recited the phrase "Allahu akbar" a few times. It was explained that god is greater than any of us. The event included Quranic chants in Arabic between prostrations. Participants followed Omar's lead, bowing to the floor, then kneeling. They repeated this ritual a few times.

Omar served as the imam, preaching a long sermon. Since nothing in the world is going in the right direction, he stressed, "we need to look into a different direction," be kind to others, to our neighbors, and look inside ourselves and be connected to our spirituality. Until 2010, he told the audience, he was a confused person, but now he feels good. He suggested we can all also turn around our lives.

Omar displayed Da'wa activity in full. His sermon effectively served as an invitation to Islam, albeit indirect. For now, the Chautauqua Institution prohibits official invitations to Islam (or other religions) and requires all denominational leaders to sign statements that they may not proselytize. Yet I wonder how long these APYA Muslims will restrain themselves about their real intention, since Islam requires Muslims to invite all "infidels" to join them and "revert."

Then the female Shia Muslim young adult explained that during the Jummah prayer, she would stand behind Omar; she claimed that in her Shia tradition, she wouldn't have done so, and this was "just" a simple cultural difference. She then explained that this tradition prevents the men from getting looks at the "women's booty." The spectators approvingly laughed. If there were feminists among the audience, they were silent.

Imagine if a conservative Christian said something similar about his religion. All hell would break loose. Muslims, however, get a free ride on most anything they say or do.

The young Shia woman sang a melodic chant in Farsi. Then came the Q and A segment. The Sunni, Omar, said we had only six minutes. I raised my hand, received the microphone from the male Jewish APYA young adult, and calmly stated:

"I am a student of Islam [at which Omar smiled with pleasure] – not the Islam that you are teaching here at Chautauqua, but the real Islam. [All smiles faded.] As such, I learned that Surat al Fatiha verse 1:7 in effect vilifies the Jews and Christians. Those who go astray are the Christians, and those who earned Allah's wrath are the Jews."

Omar and the other Muslims in the room blanched.

I continued: "While the words Jews and Christians are not mentioned in the Sura itself, from my studying, Ibn Kathir referred to them as Jews and Christians. Ibn Kathir quoted the words of Mohammed on this issue. It's Mohammed – not me – who defined that those who went astray are the Christians and those who earned God's wrath are Jews."

I said every devout Muslim knows exactly to whom he refers when he recites that Surat al Fatiha. In essence, I concluded, Muslims at the Chautauqua Jummah prayers invite Jews and Christians to join them. Non-Muslim participants have no idea that they essentially denigrate themselves during the Jummah prayers.

I pointed at Omar and the other Muslims and stated that their prayers amounted to Da'wa. "Yes, Da'wa," I repeated, "and I find it very sad that the Chautauqua administration allows that to take place."

I apparently caught Omar and his Muslim colleagues by total surprise. Omar muttered several statements in reply, which made little sense to me. He said it was out of context and cited this or that Muslim scholar on Surat al Fatiha.

He quickly ran out of explanations. To my utter astonishment, he stated: "But what the lady was saying is correct. ... Yes it is correct."

Omar kept talking. By then, however, I had reached a sort of "circuit overload" – it was too much for me to continue to take. I boldly expressed dismay and told the presenters: "What you are doing here is taqiyya" as I left the room.

Dr. Durie concludes:

'That devout Muslims are daily declaring before Allah that Christians have gone astray and Jews are objects of divine wrath, must be considered a matter of central importance for interfaith relations. This is all the more so because the interpretation of verse 7 which relates it to Christians and Jews is soundly based upon the words of Muhammad himself. As Al-Fatihah is the daily worship of Muslims, and represents the very essence of Islam itself, the meaning of these words cannot be ignored or glossed over.'

Henceforth, to prove the effectiveness of Islamic Da'wa and its advancement, add this anecdote to your arsenal. The left gleefully enables and supports this "
